Thank you everyone for the laugh. Its called fat and flab and I think I will name mine Flat to combine the two words. Maybe it will become confused and do just that. I have been doing more reverse crunches and just sitting and sucking it in while I drive. Anything to try and tone it a little all day is a good thing. Hopefully with weight loss, our 'friends' will go away!!

LMAO....I've never thought of naming mine...I guess I'm lucky though as mine is getting smaller as I lose weight...I know mine is from pregnancy...even though it was 12 years ago...lol...I never had it before that...I was 400lbs when I was pregnant so I guess that was the only place for it to go...I only gained 10lbs though and my son was 9lbs2ozs...so maybe it wasn't totally from the pregnancy...lol. Hopefully someone will come up with a magical cure

I find this such an annoying bit of my body! My waist itself it getting slimmer but my tummy area is still about 2 sizes bigger so all the waist bands of my skirts etc are too big or they are tight over the wobbly tum!

I think it's just about losing weight all over and then trying to tighten up my abs generally.

no idea really!

If the jumping up and down to shift it lower worked, I'd be skinny but with huge fat flabby ankles and feet . Ha ha

I have that problem too. I've been overweight most of my life and it's always been there. I have NO idea how to shrink it...wish I did...lol. The only think I know of is to keep doing ab exercises and losing weight in general. If I find a magic cure, I'll let you know! :-)

I work a sit down job and have always had a tendency to wear my pants a little too tight in the waist, so I think that might be my problem. It's gross to think about, but I think I may have shifted some of my organs. (I've had a couple of recent surgeries and both surgeons stated my anatomy was "challenging". Hmmmm.) It could also be a hernia, which is common in obese people.

If you know how to get rid of it, please let me know!
